lyrics

The Yoke

It’s the same old road /Ive written it down

Oh the words they may change but the feelings remain

And I carry it around /its my burden of shame

I can wash clean the wound but the blood it still stains

There’s a falling leaf /and she catches the sun

And I thought for a moment I could change what’s been done

For if I could fly /or glide away

Like the leaf on the wind or the things I can’t say

If I said it to you/ would it change your life

Unfreeze my cold heart and unchain my sick mind

The keys to a lock that’s been buried in time

So Ill let it go /and you turn and run

Thistle down floats and reflects evening sun

There’s a blanket of leaves / hide the roots of these trees

Like a vail on your eyes that won’t let you see me

For the man that I am/ or the one I could be

If I could unfurl these wings and fly over these trees
